Ramsden Text

Jason wrote to tell me that the York Bookstore seems to have ordered a very limited number of copies of the Ramsden text and that they are now sold out. I suggest that if you don’t have the book, then ordering a copy online through Chapters or Amazon is probably your best bet. A few weeks ago at least one person received their copy in the mail less than a week after ordering from Chapters. One thing you can do now is go to Google Books and read their preview of the Ramsden book. It provides most of the first three chapters, though it skips every third or fourth page; but you will be able to at least get the gist of his arguments. I will make some photocopies of the missing pages for Wednesday and figure out some rearrangement of materials to give people a chance to get their copies before moving on in the book. You can get to the Google Books search page by clicking here. Once there, enter “Paul Ramsden” and then choose our book, Learning to Teach in Higher Education, from those that come up. It was the first one in the list when I tried it. If you have other suggestions, don’t hesitate to send them to me or post here as a comment.

Now that there is more than one post on the website, I should mention that the way you scroll through them is by clicking on the light gray area to the side of the post. Clicking on the right side takes you back to earlier posts; the left side will take you forward if you are reading something other than the most recent post.
